We interrupt this celebration...

for a basketball tournament. We had to put some of the celebrating on hold to play in the Independent School Athletic League (which means the small private schools of San Antonio) tournament. The Patriots have had a wonderful season this year, losing only 1 game. Chances were high that they would be able to play SACS (the team that beat them) in the finals of the tournament. After winning on Thursday night in the first round of the tournament, the Patriots had a game at 11 on Sat. morning against St. George and won by two points when a guy from their team hit a 3-pointer with 7 seconds left. Talk about an adrenaline charged game!! So then they were off to the championship game. And they did get to play against SACS. It was a great game and the Patriots won by 9 points. Here are some pics from the game. Guess what?? I DIDN'T take them. That's why they're good! :-)

Jeremy dribbles past #12, the player who caused no end of torment to the Patriots the last time we played SACS. This time, we were ready and shut him down.
